Business Guide to Tsunami Planning
While you'll find plenty of information on insurance, warning systems and emergency assistance, the best advice offered by this emergency planning resource is to simply run away when you hear a tsunami is headed your way.

National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program
The NOAA has developed a program aimed at reducing loss of life along the tsunami-prone West Coast and Alaska. The three-part program includes plans for hazard assessment, new warning systems and mitigation.

NOAA Tsunami Project
The goal of this NOAA program is to develop faster, more reliable tsunami warning systems. The hope is to mitigate damage with real-time reporting of events, short-term forecasting and a growing database.

Pacific Tsunami Museum
This living memorial to those who lost their lives in past tsunami events promotes public education about tsunamis for the people of Hawaii and the Pacific Region.

Science of Tsunami Hazards
This publication of the Tsunami Society posts the latest scientific writings on the subject of tidal waves and their hazards. You have to subscribe to get the full edition, but the available abstracts are remarkably thorough.

Tsunami Society, The
The Tsunami Society promotes awareness and mitigation of tsunami hazards by teaching scientists, officials and the public about the phenomenon.

Tsunami Survey Photographs
A USC survey team has been studying tsunami events around the world for several years, tracking the waves, assembling data and assessing damage. Track the different events on the downloadable maps and view photographs of aftermaths.

Tsunami: The Big Wave
The NASA Observatorium posts a great introduction to tsunamis with a concise look at their mechanics, early warning programs and history. Not loaded down with scientific terminology, it's a good page for the geologically impaired.

Tsunamis: Waves of Destruction
The Krakatau eruption in 1883 generated a tsunami that killed over 32,000 islanders. Read how modern science is trying to figure out the mechanics of this and similar events in the Pacific.

West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
While it is almost impossible to predict a tsunami, they can be tracked and warnings issued. It's a dicey job, but this agency does pretty well with current alerts, background information and preparedness advice.
